Anatomy Of A Day In The Mavs' Trade-Deadline Life – Scout

Posted: Published on February 23rd, 2017

Trade Talk. Cap Gymnastics. A Surprise Phone Call. A Short-Handed Scrimmage. It's All Part Of 'The Anatomy Of A Day In The Mavs' Trade-Deadline Life.' The first soon-to-be-public domino topples innocuously enough, with Dallas Mavericks rookie center AJ Hammons showing up for work in Frisco, expecting to be a starter for Wednesday nights D-League game between the Mavs affiliate the Texas Legends vs. the LA D-Fenders. At 3:36, I receive a text. Hammons is being recalled by the Mavs today. And right about at this time, Legends coach Bob MacKinnon contacts Hammons. Youre going downtown, MacKinnon tells the kid. I ask a Mavs staffer if Hammons hurry-up drive south down the Tollway (a move made official at 3:49) had anything to do with the possibility of a trade-deadline-centered Dallas roster shuffle. You could surmise that, yes, he tells me. And then comes a Mavs practice. (It is suggested to me that the workout is largely a scrimmage, and that coach Rick Carlisle will supervise another scrimmage on Thursday as the team comes back from its All-Star Break and preps for a Friday game at Minnesota and a Saturday AAC meeting with Boogie Cousins Pelicans). And it is a Mavs practice … Continue reading →

The anatomy of a sectional upset – nwitimes.com

Posted: Published on February 23rd, 2017

Brandon Grubl was frustrated when his friends from the Porter County Conference spoke with him on March 5, 2011. The slight was used as fuel before he boarded a bus in route to a very big stage. His basketball buddies told him what almost everyone in the Region and the state of Indiana had already concluded. Grubl's Morgan Township team had no chance in its sectional championship game at Bowman Academy. "All my friends said they were going to the Merrillville-Valpo game instead," Grubl remembered on Wednesday night. "Nobody believed in us." In 2009, Bowman beat the Cherokees 82-66 to win the championship. In 2010 it was 98-70, as the Eagles cut down the nets and went on to win the Class A state championship. Morgan coach Matt Bush gathered his underdogs in the hallway and said one thing to his team. "If you don't think we have a shot in this game, then walk out now." Grubl went out and scored 22 points as his Cherokees shocked Bowman 53-49, in one of the Region's biggest sectional upsets. Considering that the Eagles returned to state championship games the following three Marches is proof of this David vs. Goliath tale. "A … Continue reading →

Logan, Han Solo and the Anatomy of an Anti-Hero – CGMagazine

Posted: Published on February 23rd, 2017

Hugh Jackman and James Mangolds Logan is about to make its debut in theaters, and with early reviews in, this sounds like the Wolverine stand-alone movie fans have been clamouring for. Wolverine is a beloved comic book character and has been taken to new heights with Jackmans performances spanning multiple X-Men and stand-alone movies. But hes also an anti-hero, which makes his rise to fame that much more interesting. What is it about Wolverine, and anti-heroes in general, that make them so endearing? Investigating this question, there are specific qualities anti-heroes have that not only make them anti-heroes but also warms them up to the hearts of fans the world over. Heres a look at the anatomy of an anti-hero as found in comic books, movies and television shows. Most anti-heroes begin their heros journey on the peripheries of society. Starting with Wolverine, he begins Bryan Singers X-Men movie making a living fighting inside a steel cage in a seedy Alberta bar. Its only until he meets Rouge that he leaves that life as an outcast and moves toward a life a part of the collective, or in Logans case, as a card carrying member of the X-Men. Keeping with … Continue reading →

Tailoring dental care for patients with special needs – The Seattle Times

Posted: Published on February 23rd, 2017

DECOD clinic offers treatment for those with developmental or acquired disabilities. Most dental care providers have minimal training in special care dentistry, often leaving them unable to address patients behavioral and physical needs. Additionally, many patients with special needs are afraid of dental procedures, and may have had past treatment while under general anesthesia. This means their fears are never assuaged, and appointments can remain challenging for both patient and dental care provider. Dr. Keturah Lowe is a second-year general practice resident in the UW School of Dentistrys Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, focusing on special care dentistry. Most of the week, she can be found at the DECOD clinic, treating patients with developmental disabilities and occasionally working with dental students. DECOD stands for Dental Education in the Care of Persons with Disabilities, and the clinic is part of the UW School of Dentistry. The DECOD clinic, which is supported in part by private donations, provides care to patients with developmental or acquired disabilities, including people with autism, multiple sclerosis or cerebral palsy, meaning they often need care beyond what a typical dental office provides. At my last program, most of my patients with special needs received dental treatment … Continue reading →

4 arrested in death of 9-year-old boy with cerebral palsy – WHIO

Posted: Published on February 23rd, 2017

Traffic on over-traveled roads in Fairborn decreased significantly since the city implemented temporary road blocks to study neighborhood traffic near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. New traffic counts for Ohio, Greene and South Streets show an overall 28 percent reduction in traffic at four traffic count locations within the neighborhood, said Pete Bales, Fairborns interim city manager. Weve seen a dramatic decrease in traffic, Bales said in a report to city council this week, noting there have not been too many grumbles from base employees who used the street as a shortcut to WPAFB Gate 1A. Our residents have been happy, weve heard from a lot of them. Under the current arrangement, which is temporary, the city used barricades to prevent left turns from the three streets to Broad Street, preventing turns to WPAFB Gate 1A. Barricades also block Broad Street left turns to the three streets. Bales said the city will continue to monitor the traffic for the remainder of the 90 day trial, which began Jan. 23. Traffic in the neighborhoods increased since the 2012 re-route of Ohio 444 off WPAFB Area A onto Kauffman Avenue, South Central Avenue, West Dayton Drive and Broad Street. The neighborhood streets were … Continue reading →

From Alzheimer’s to autism, nuclear neurology could launch revolution in diagnosing and treating brain diseases – Medical Xpress

Green arrow points to regional hypometabolism in the medial parietal lobe, (which processes biographical information and memory),a proposed biomarker for Alzheimers. Credit: UB Center for Positron Emission Tomography When applied to the brain, nuclear medicine techniques reveal critical information about the progression of the most devastating diseases, from Alzheimer's to traumatic brain injury. Just last week, Nature published research showing that brain imaging might be able to help diagnose autism in infants as young as six months old, an advance that would represent extraordinary progress in more effectively treating the disease. Such advances don't surprise Robert S. Miletich, MD, PhD, interim chair and professor of the Department of Nuclear Medicine at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo, who is studying brain scans obtained from 16,000 patients. He says the wealth of information nuclear imaging techniques provide could pave the way toward a dramatic improvement in the clinical detection and treatment of many brain disorders. "I predict that nuclear neurology is going to become as important to neuroscience as nuclear cardiology has been … Continue reading →

6-year-old’s snowboarding injury leads to inoperable brain tumor diagnosis – Fox News

Posted: Published on February 23rd, 2017

For the family of 6-year-old Devin Suau, every day is a race against the clock. Devin was given between eight months and two years to live after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor for which there is no known cure: diffuse intrinsic pontine giloma (DIPG). His family is hoping the hashtag #WhyNotDevin will raise awareness in time to find a cure. Three weeks ago, Devin got a concussion while snowboarding. While getting evaluated for treatment, doctors discovered the tumor on his brain stem. Life changing. Three weeks ago we were a normal family doing normal activities, Devin's father James Suau said. We got some of the results today that he has high grade, which means its a faster growing. Devin has three older brothers, and his parents are doing the best to keep things normal for the whole family while Devin undergoes radiation and doctors work to find clinical trials that might give him more time. Being told that your 6 year old has a maximum of two years of life is beyond anything you can comprehend, his mother Christine Suausaid. Since the family started using #WhyNotDevin, the Mass. State Police, Harvard hockey team, members of the military and … Continue reading →

Girl, eight, with rare brain disorder in pioneering UCL stem cell research – Evening Standard

Posted: Published on February 23rd, 2017

A girl of eight whose rare brain disorder is likely to lead to her death when she is in her teens is taking part in pioneering stem cell research in a bid to save others with same condition. Lily Harrisss skin cells will first be turned into stem cells and then into brain cells by researchers at University College London as they seek treatments or a cure. About 100 to 200 cases of BPAN beta-propeller protein-associated neurodegeneration are known worldwide, although this is believed to be an underestimate. Children often suffer delayed development, sleep problems, epilepsy and lack of speech and their symptoms can be mistaken for other conditions. Lily, from Luton, was diagnosed when she was five. She has very limited communication skills and uses a wheelchair. She wakes four or five times a night and needs drugs to control seizures. However, she loves swimming and her father Simon said she has recently began singing on car journeys. Shes laughed and giggled her way through everything, and shes been through a lot, he said. Shes a beautiful little girl who can be quite naughty sometimes. Were giving her the best time we can while shes here. We have a … Continue reading →
